no more awkward peekaboo with the next door neighbors.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful creators of clingy window privacy film {available at Home Depot for $19.99}. Not only is it swell to look at, but it has taken some of the awkward out of my life, of which I am most appreciative. Before window cling, my laundry room glared like a beacon aimed straight at the neighbor's driveway, signaling all wandering eyes to peek in and spy who might be folding laundry or ironing in their morning skivvies. And it is a laundry room after all. I don't know of anyone who looks their best or happiest or most dressed while laundering and folding clothes. Wait a minute. That might not be true. I guess I wouldn't know since I never look in on people doing their laundry. And now, thanks again to privacy window clings -in faux stained glass- other people will never know how I look when I do my laundry. So there.

Anyway, lots of photos of the same thing, but you get the idea. The film came rolled up in one piece like a poster and about the same size of a large poster. It's not adhesive, so it can be removed easily. It works using static cling. I had to measure for my separate window panes and cut carefully, so I could keep the picture uniform. I then sprayed with water, attached the film, and used a small squeegee to smooth out the bubbles. It took me about an hour and was super easy. And now I don't have to worry about awkward waves when the neighbors walk or drive by. Hip hip!

Ha! Funny...I have a door just like that in my kitchen that faces my neighbors kitchen. My old neighbors had a fit for me to put frost on it or a curtain or the clings that you have used. I never did. They recently moved. The new neighbors put up curtains. haha. I really like the clings you used though. Really pretty.

Too funny! In one of our previous houses, our kitchen window faced the neighbors kitchen window, and I felt like we were cooking dinner together every night. I found myself constantly staring into her house like a creeper. :)
